08/05 JD - Mancave edition


I have been terribly busy so far this summer doing stuff in relation to purchasing a home.  Now that I finally found a place, most of my time has been spent furniture shopping, and pouring over decorating books, sites, shows, and images.  Thank God this is happening during the off season and not during the season causing me to miss any games.

 

Well I recently came across something I was really interested in a few years ago...MAN CAVES!  Now that I have my own house, what better way to express my manhood and my love for the Blazers than with a Blazers themed man cave. 

I envision my man cave to include a grey painted concrete flooring with paint specs and a Blazers logo that will later be epoxied.  Then I can construct a shrine to house my memorabilia.  Of course the place will have a mounted flat screen with CSN so that I can hook it up to my computer and make a Blazers video vault to have all the games archived. 

Lastly, maybe a homemade custom poker table...also Blazer themed of course.


Anyone else love mancaves?

ACK!

That doesn’t look like a mancave to me. More like the bedoom of a 12 year old.

Someone just got a write up of sorts at work.

I had to laugh. The op dropped an item when using one hand to position it. The write up stated that because they did not use 2 hands they doubled the chance that they my drop it, LOL.
I’ve never used 2 hands for that maneuver and never dropped anything.
So what if you were really good with your feet and hands, does that mean you quadrupled your chance of dropping it because you only used one hand verses a guy who never uses his feet for anything.
I used to drive 20 miles to work and never touch the steering wheel just for fun.

Not sure who Richard Kimball is, other than someone chasing a one armed man.

So we would probably hire Dr. Kimball, but not the one armed guy, unless he was good with his feet.

A guy at work said it's almost done and will be signed by the end of the week.

Why the end of the week i don’t know (or maybe he said within a week) but the point is they ironed out most of the details, and it is sure to gt done.

True story heard it on CNN
Robot attacked Swedish factory worker
The Local ^ | 7/29/2009 | The Local

Posted on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 5:44:36 AM by NMEwithin

A Swedish company has been fined 25,000 kronor ($3,000) after a malfunctioning robot attacked and almost killed one of its workers at a factory north of Stockholm.

Public prosecutor Leif Johansson mulled pressing charges against the firm but eventually opted to settle for a fine.

“I’ve never heard of a robot attacking somebody like this,” he told news agency TT.

The incident took place in June 2007 at a factory in Bålsta, north of Stockholm, when the industrial worker was trying to carry out maintenance on a defective machine generally used to lift heavy rocks. Thinking he had cut off the power supply, the man approached the robot with no sense of trepidation.

But the robot suddenly came to life and grabbed a tight hold of the victim’s head. The man succeeded in defending himself but not before suffering serious injuries.

“The man was very lucky. He broke four ribs and came close to losing his life,” said Leif Johansson.

The matter was subject to an investigation by both the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) and the police.

Prosecutor Johansson chastised the company for its inadequate safety procedures but he also placed part of the blame on the injured worker.

Love.

I’ve only read about 3 or 4, but they were actually pretty good.

I thought the Sabonis one was good.
I decided when it began I wasn’t going to rec any. But if I decide to put mine back up, I think I’ll have to go rec some of the good ones.

I’m not much of a writer, but I thought it was one of my best literary works.

I’m just not sure if it was in the guidelines of the rules. Well that’s not exactly true, I think it’s in the guidelines. I’m just not sure if anyone would like it. And I haven’t had time to even be here much the last week, so I felt weird about putting up a post.

A try is not a failure, if that´s what your´re worried about.

I like these quotes:

"I haven’t failed, I’ve found 10,000 ways that don’t work"

"I never failed once. It just happened to be a 2000-step process."

Thomas Alva Edison.

Just don´t take people´s reaction, or no reaction, seriously. And keep going forward. I´m learning English that way ;)

Thanks, I’m very aware of how critical I am of myself

but that awareness doesn’t seem to subside my inhibitions. And it may not seem that way to some because I’m always throwing my thoughts out there as though I freely say whatever I want. When in reality I cringe most of the time when I’ve hit the post button.
I’m hoping some day writing will become a little easier for me, and even use this forum to blow out a paragraph here and there, knowing that no one here is critiquing it in a way that should concern me.

That would have been very cool.

All of us who got to see him wear a blazer uniform, bemoan the fact that we didn’t get to see him in his prime. But a Sabonis on the downhill side of his career was still a thing of beauty to watch.

Amazing presentation about Netflix's work policy

Not only they have an amazing vacation policy (take as much as you need), but also a very interesting work culture. If these principles are really upheld, that’s a nice place to work.

I assume they mean “take as much as you need – without pay”. I could basically do that too, as long as it doesn’t prevent projects I’m in from getting finished (e.g. I can’t say “yeah the deadline is in two weeks, see you in three”).

Adobe recently also gave everyone off a week twice, a) for saving some money and b) because people weren’t taking their holidays.

actually

i think they get paid, it’s just that as long as you perform and do your job (and don’t take the holidays right before a deadline of course), you’re free to take holidays. You don’t have to file them with HR, or adjust them to a certain period, etc…basically there’s no vacation policy. At least that’s what I could understand from the slideshow.

As I understand it the vacation policy applies only to the people who work at the main office

this doesn’t apply to the people at the local distribution centers that handle the incoming/out going discs.

We used to have a vacation policy that stated

the MINIMUM vacation was two weeks a year…the maximum was whatever you needed. there was no classification by number of years with the company.

Once we were acquired by a publicly helpd company it changed, but informally it still is take as much as you need….it’s between you and your supervisor.

And we have not yet had one person abuse it in out 15 years of existence.

We also have 2 kegs of beer on tap in the kitchen, but that’s another story….

I just finished watching the last episode of The Wire about a half hour ago

What a great show. There aren’t too many shows like that on. I never watched it when it was on (I was in college in the middle of its run, and dorms aren’t exactly cable friendly), but in the last few months I’ve watched the entire series and I love it. The last 2 or 3 episodes before the finale were as good as I’ve seen on tv.

I want Greg Oden to tuck me in at night and tell me stories about the old times

i dont want to be a jerk

but

The “pizza” we order from chains here in America is actually very far from the original flat bread peasant dish many Southern Italians and Sicilians used to make.

Pizza is bread piled high with whatever food people had left; because of the natural resources, things like tomatoes and seafood were the most common toppings.

pork , beef & cheese, etc.. all were/are luxeries that many Italians, when Pizza was ‘invented’ ,couldn’t afford to use/eat.

Hell yeah man

and I was actually all ready to leave the game when we were losing by 13 with 6 minutes to go, because I wanted to beat the traffic out of there. And my buddy (Patrick’s older brother actually) was like, “Naw, if we come back to win and you left, you’ll be mad at yourself for the rest of all eternity” so I stayed and we won. Now I’ve vowed never to leave early from a sporting event in which one of my teams is participating ever again. UO is sweet…you’ll like it there.

No I agree

Vaccinating only females doesn’t do much to stop the problem. There is always people that are not going to get vaccinated, so you might as well expand the population of eligible people to as wide as possible. The easiest way to do that would be to include males. I am saying this with no knowledge of what kinds of effects the vaccines have on males, though.

I think people that are against the vaccine are short sighted. They seem to be only focused on the “business time” aspect.

the early tests are that the risks are about the same as those for women

My OBGYN indicated to me that she will be vaccinating her sons

The risks however are more grave. HPV is being linked to higher risks of penil and prostate cancer…. As well as anal cancer ………. in men.

Kinda-sorta

Only 1 in 100,000 men in the U.S. gets penile cancer annually and the elevated risks of prostate and anal cancer for men from HPV exists solely for men who have anal sex with men. That’s not to downplay the significance of it for that population, but it’s a lot more important to vaccinate women for the effects on their health than it is to vaccinate men for that reason.

as if these insurance companies aren’t going to pay 50-70 times what it would cost to cover the vaccination for every woman that gets cervical cancer.

 The people who really make me mad in this whole debate are the social values conservatives who say giving the vaccine is tantamount to giving young girls a green light to have unprotected sex with anybody they want, because they’re not going to know the difference between “cervical cancer” and “every other STD out there, plus pregnancy”.

Kids can be told their thingies will rot away and fall off if they even rub noses with someone else

They will still do it. They are programmed for it.

I do think some kids can be abstinent and it can work for them, but only for individual cases and not mass groups of young kids. All methods should be taught and the simple birth prevention measures made available.

unfortunately that’s a genetics problem… I don’t see how it’s close minded to say that if Birth control is available and affordable (read free or gov’t subsidized) and you choose not to avail yourself of that option, that you should have to live with the results for a while.

and I dont want to embarras you either in an Abortion debate however, educate yourself on what is and isn’t covered.

The reality is, many working women, like myself, have healthcare that DOESN"T cover birth control. If I go to planned parenthood, I will not qualify for government assistance because I make too much.

What happens if I am allergic to latex, or I cant take hormones and require hormone free birth prevention method? If so , those birth prevention methods are extrememly expensive (800.00 and up) .

Also, if you believe in birthcontrol, but believe that perhaps ‘life’ begins at the moment a sperm enters the egg , or even conception, then you should def. b against ALL forms of birthcontrol pills/prevention etc. b/c almost all birthcontrol methods/pills/hormones/inplants PREVENT a fertilized egg from inplanting…………………………………………………..

"Almost all birth control methods/pills/hormones"?

For all the forms of the Pill (except for potentially the morning-after pill but not necessarily) that I’m familiar with, this isn’t the case. BC works because it tricks your body into thinking it’s ovulated not because it prevents a fertilizing egg from implanting in the uterus.

No doubt about that

But combined estrogen-progestin oral contraceptives don’t do that. I was just commenting that if one is pro-life, it’s not inconsistent to be in favor of the pill and also be pro-life, and I understood your post to mean that they were mutually incompatible.

actually they do, if in case fertilization occurs

then it ALSO prevents inplantation into the uterine wall to occur.

I also feel like “pro life” is hilariously ironic. But anyway, I guess Im for choice of the mother and father. It’s a hard issues to stand on but the negative language like Arkitekts “suffer the consequences for 9 months” is more damaging in my opinion.

The evidence about oral contraception

interfering with uterine implantation as a secondary mechanism to prevent pregnancy can be generously described as murky. Most of the findings that HAVE found that effect have been agenda-driven, and I’m majorly skeptical of them. I don’t think it’s inconsistent to be pro-life (or whatever term you want to use for people who would restrict abortion rights) and pro-Pill, but we can agree to disagree on that.

Your son is adorable! And you seem like you’re an excellent mother to him from what I’ve read on here. I’m truly glad your decision to keep the pregnancy and raise your son as your own has brought so much happiness to you.

in the context of the debate b/c it was my understanding that arkitekt was/is pro life and feels that if one is to get pregnant the ‘extreme ’ post pregnancy “whoops” option shouldn’t be available because if we are exposed to all options and still conceice then we should have to “suffer the consequences for 9 months”. I just wanted to state that if he and his wife use contraception then his views are a bit hypocriticall.

I DONT actually believe that a life begins at conception therefor hormonal bc, inplants condoms ect. are great and I am even pro choice ( NOT pro abortion).

I guess I'm one of them then

I’m the red-headed stepchild of the abortion debate…somebody who believes that life begins at conception and who is also unconvinced that restricting abortion rights would be a good thing.

That’s why I’m very pro-Pill and pro-condom — they keep abortions from happening. And I lack the moral certainty that “life” (and you could have a philosophical debate for the ages about just what that “life” entails) begins at conception, even though that’s my personal belief.

Restricting abortion rights would definitely reduce the number of abortions overall, but you’d get a nasty jump in back-alley abortion deaths and maimings, you know? And there’s NO doubt that those are very real lives that would be snuffed out. Even though it’s my personal belief that “life” begins at conception, I’m not convinced enough that I think it would be worth the real deaths — the ones that are indisputable.

well restricting abortions and resticting funding for

I totally agree

I think if one is pro-life, one should be adamantly pro-condoms and -pill and should also support comprehensive sex education. Everybody wants to work to reduce the number of abortions, so take those common-sense steps to do it.

The global gag rule was also frustrating to me. If one identifies as pro-life, one should care about ALL life. The U.S. denying funding to countries whose health clinics performed abortions may have saved some fetal lives, if life does indeed begin at conception, but what about all the mothers and children who died from inadequate health care? Their lives should have counted too and they didn’t.

and that's why i call "pro life' in the

generic sense, ironic.

There was a very prominent, democratic board member of the democrats for life inc. or something like this, who was voted down by the group because he supported birthcontrol and condoms while the rest of the group staunchly believe contraception is not good. It’s just extreme to me.

but the negative language like Arkitekts "suffer the consequences for 9 months" is more damaging in my opinion

I am refering to people who get abortions because they view pregnancy as an inconvenience to their life… not people who have unplanned pregnancies

What's with the chip on your shoulder?

I know people who were jerks who went to Jesuit. I also know people who were jerks who went to public school. Some of my best friends never went to public school a day in their lives, and likewise for friends who never spent a second in private school. People of all kinds are everywhere.

To say “The kid is from Jesuit, he wouldn’t understand” is doubly ignorant and insulting. You act like Catholics are a monolithic group on abortion, which they’re not. And you dismiss an hour’s worth of nuanced discussion — one that dealt with a very sensitive subject but never became personal or bombastic, and oh, by the way, one that didn’t even involve you — because of the religious views espoused by the high school I attended?

That’s unfortunate. And it’s dumb. And in the future if all you have to contribute are comments dismissing me and my ideas — not on their merits, but because of things wholly unrelated to their content — I’d appreciate it if you’d keep them to yourself.

My point was in regards to what I believe should happen, not the realities of the world…. if ALL forms of birth control were cheap, then the abortion because of financial difficulties associated with pregnancy carries very little weight… the reality is what you described

post-pregnancy is another topic

and yes, we use birthcontrol… my views aren’t extreme one way or the other on the topic… hence non-traditional

i mean, that's the point on which 'pro lifers, aka anti choicers' stand upon

and Im sorry to presumptiously lump all of you together,is abortion kills an “unborn” child therefor it’s immoral and should be illegal. So, then in this case, all forms of contraception should be immoral and illegal as well. I guess I feel that if YOU have the right to decide, when,if and how your wife and you should conceive, I should have the right to make that same decision for myself.

Whoever said I was Pro-Life?

actually, I’m pro-choice-ishin my leanings… I don’t begin to believe I can dictate what others do…. that said though I don’t have any respect for people who view an unwanted pregnancy as an inconvenience and therefore terminate it. There are plenty of GOOD reasons to terminate a pregnancy (incest, rape, health of the mother, etc…) Lack of forethought and plannings isn’t one of them in my opinion

"I just want a woman"- DrivetheLane

by The Arkitect on Aug 5, 2009 2:28 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Im not sure all pregnancies outside the

examples you listed are specifically viewed as an inconvenience when the mother/father chose to abort it. This type of presumption is kind of damaging and I dont mean to attack you personally but make you recognize the damage language does to women specifically. There is really no way to ascertain what is going through one’s head when she/he decides to have an abortion. It’s important morally to respect other human’s decision, imho, as it is important to respect life as well as prospective life.
As far as saying you were “pro life” I guess I was assuming this based on some of your previous comments. I apologize for making that assumption.

That’s what the etc. was for… all the examples outside of what I specifically list that are not for “inconvenience”
.
.
all this started as a discussion on what they should teach/hand out in HS… in that idealized world I envisioned as part of that discussion, there is little reason for many abortions… Obviously this is not that world…
.
.
as far as “the damage language does to women specifically” I’m not sure what you are referring to here. If I used damaging language I apologize.
.
.

It’s important morally to respect other human’s decision, imho, as it is important to respect life as well as prospective life.

I agree, I respect their decision and their right to make it for themselves… but I may not respect their reasons for making the decision
.
.
Lastly, there are parts of this discussion where you arguthat a woman doesn’t have control of her own body… " and what would your marriage be like if your wife wasn’t allowed to chose birthcontrol" and parts where where you argue that it the womans body she can do what she wishes “What someone DOES with their OWN body is THEIR personal choice”… I don’t think you get to have it both ways. It’s either your choice or it’s not

i agree that it is her choice to make

the end. if she choses to be pro life and carry an unexpected pregnancy to term , she can do so. If she wants to take the pilll, she can do so, if she wants to abort her pregnancy planned or unplanned, she may do so.

I am not sure how I have made it seem as if I want things both ways?

I was simply making the point that, there are indeed places on earth where women aren’t allowed choice at all.

If you cant understand how a debate about the right of woman’s reproductive organs can be demeaning and harmful to the goal of equality amongst sexes then i dont really know what to say going forward with you.

I don’t subscribe to the notion of some kind of equality in this dance. The consequences clearly play out the difference: For the woman, the carrying and raising of even one child is a very costly project. This enormous difference between the situation of the sexes means there is an innate propensity for women to be far more cautious and discriminating then men, in choosing of a mate for procreation.

I agree education is the best tool, but we need also examine that which teach.

If her story is true

more power to her, and if it’s not, no judgment from me. If people want to have responsible sex before they get married, that’s cool. I’m just suspicious when a very attractive woman in an openly sexualized profession like Britney Spears or Adrianna Lima comes out and says, “Oh I’m staying a virgin till I get married, etc.” because there’s always a concomitant media frothing at the mouth. I didn’t know that about her back story though, that’s interesting.

Disagree

Part of the issue is that society views sex solely as a recreational past time and has been separated from its potential for creating offspring. Handing out buckets of condoms seems to only further reinforce that idea when instead sex education should focus on the emotional impacts of sex as well as the family planning aspects of it as well.

But to raise a child who believes that sex can be (or pehaps even should be) a sacred and/or a spiritual act will require the parents to do a lot of swimming against the current of popular culture. The parents will need to teach and re-teach these ideas in the home in both word and deed.

Will that be difficult? Yes, but nobody ever said that been a parent was easy.

I think cultural consciousness has been a HUGE problem with self identity and human interaction—and the agent for our grotesque behavior with others. I wouldn’t even no where to start training the next BE’ers of the future. Education in school and out is only half the battle. Learning there is a hierarchy to decision making is crucial, but they also need that bitter taste of failure—making mistakes is almost as important as making the right choice. Honestly, I don’t know how you would raise kids now. If I have kids, I’ll raise them under a dark cloud of misdirection and mystery or find a commune like “The Village”…

crappy stuff. The world is ful lof crappy stuff, might as well beef up their immune systems when they’re young, they are going to see it all sooner or later.

i was never more disappointed in some blazer fans after that

I remember sitting 3rd row behind the Rockets bench that game…and when Deke went down there was about 30 or so people sitting near me taunting the Rockets and Dikembe when that happened. They did his finger wag thing and started talking crap. Thank god the classy Blazer fans told them all to shut up and sit down while the rest of the RG gave him a standing ovation.

I've done that too

The strangest stuff ends up in the fridge sometimes. I’ve also poured cereal into my coffee mug.

My favorite is when my husband pulled the milk out of the fridge and wasn’t sure if it had passed the expiration date, so he sniffed his watch. Some kinda weird brain confusion between checking the date and smelling the milk.

Not really, he instantly picked up 2 fouls and was sitting for much of the first quarter

He is active on defense like everyone trying to steal against some bigger Italians. And he mostly guards both forwards while playing SF/SG on offense.

what’s funny is we probably could have ended up with Sessions… and I do like his game. I think that Nate just wanted a veteran that he could lean on, and in the end, Hedo and Lloyd both filled the old vet role.

Now if only Mr. Miller could somehow teach Roy his post game… especially the up-fakes.

To clarify, I think the mentorship thing is overrated. Lou Williams didn’t magically become a pure point guard being under ’Dre. I just want Brandon to learn a deadly post game from someone, anyone…

Roy has a decent post game!

He just doesn’t need it much. But I like when he posts up…

Post points are just soooo easy… If he had the insane array of fakes and pivots that Miller has, it would be ridiculous.

I do agree that he has a decent post game. I just think it could be exceptoinal.

I agree with ya

I want him to use it more, ala Jordan.

Plus guards don't guard guys in the post much

So they go for the pump fakes and normal post moves more.

yep. I’ve been doing a lot of Miller-watching on youtube (they have whole playoff games) and his post game is tremendous. Pivots, up and unders, etc. The guard falls for it every time.

Roy posting

And two of the best offensive rebounders alive in LMA and Oden on the other side…

Nic cutting…

Andre Miller there for the open shot… oh wait, nevermind that part.

by Mortimer on Aug 5, 2009 4:20 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

wondering your perspective on this… is there enough room on the court for Miller to post up with Oden and LMA? I’ve heard differing opinions on it. I personally think that we’ll see a lot of Miller playing with Outlaw at the 4 and posting up backup 1s.

Its probably not something to do every time down the court

but to be able to have that in your bag of tricks to be used a handful of possessions a game would probably be beneficial.

by tingeyga on Aug 5, 2009 4:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

that is true. Also depends on the opposing PG. If it’s Aaron Brooks, I want Andre posting up early and often. Kidd? Not as much.

He doesn’t do it all the time, but about 12% of the time. Which is a lot for a point guard.

and he’s ridiculously effective when he does. He forces a double or gets a clean look at the rim most of the time.

I agree with this

It is something we can go to when we need to or when we got a clear advantage by doing it.

The more guys who can score in the halfcourt and open court alike, the better. And having 4 guys who can post up but only one who NEEDS to post up (Oden) to score (aside from garbage buckets) is just fine in my book.

I always thought having guards who can post up is an underrated asset, since it usually is a mismatch, even if it is someone like Roy who is a good sized guard but not a gargantuan SG.

The more options, the better, as long as that person isn’t a one trick pony. If Dre needed to post up to be anywhere close to effective, and so does LMA, it could be annoying.

with the mass of small star PGs in the West… Parker, Brooks, Paul… it’s a skill that could be huge in a playoff series.

But Damon is my least favorite non-raping Blazer ever.

His game on the court, I mean.

undersized gunners who don’t play defense or score efficiently are my favorite players. I don’t get where you’re coming from, Mr. Man.

How dare you besmirch

the franchise’s single-game scoring record holder!! It takes true gumption to shoot 23 three-pointers in a game, Mortimer.

Moral courage.

The kind of moral courage not enough people show. You know what I mean? 23. Three-pointers. And he wouldn’t have made them — if it weren’t for me.

Damon stopped smoking that whacky weed. Because of me. And my fearless venture into the locker room with pee cup in hand.

They changed RULES because of me. I’m like Upton Sinclair.

You think Damon would have had the motivation to shoot all those threes without my intervention?

No.

And that’s why, when you think of Damon — don’t besmirch him. Because it’s not just him.

It’s me.

And the single-game scoring record that we "joint"ly share.

The Michael Ruffin of BlazersEdge, cuz Amlmart said so.

Nice work

It’s no coincidence that Jesus and Canzano share the same initials.

by Mortimer on Aug 5, 2009 5:15 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I could see

LMA taking his guy out to the wing to give room for AM to post up. GO cleans up weak side with LMA, Roy, and another (Nic/Rudy/Outlaw) as kick out shooters. This would work against smaller guards for sure.

would be very effective if LMA could become a deadeye shooter from the corner… I think he was 40% from one of the corners last year.

If I can squeeze in the time I’ll buy some tickets for the opening weekend of the EuroBasket and try to catch the games of Nic and/or Rudy.

And I even own Wing Commander, and The Nick and Jessica Variety Hour.

I got it at the dollar store

It was 99 cents, and I remember hearing it was hilarious, in a bad way.

It is super lame, and worth the 99 cents to know I have now seen it.
